     Treetops, the hotel in the trees, is famous in the world. Peop1e know little about Kenya, but they know of Treetops. When King George VI died, Princess Elizabeth was staying on the Treetops, and when she
came down from there, "She succeeded him as the queen of the country".
     The hotel is in the middle of the forest, and it shows the pleasure of Africa. When you visit it, you will
be sent into the heart of the forest by hotel buses, and then a guide, with a gun to protect you against big
game, will go with you to the Treetops. Before and after dinner, for the whole night if you wish, you can sit on the corridor(走廊), watching animals come to the water pool. The earliest hotel Treetops was built
round a large tree on the opposite side of the water, but that was destroyed by fire and the new hotel
Treetops, which is built round several trees, is much bigger.
     The dining room at Treetops is small, and the waiters cannot walk round to serve guests, so a clever
"railway service" has been invented. Guests take their food as it passes slowly in front of them, along a line in the center of the table.
     There are many animals around the Treetops. When you visit them, you can see:
     ---Animals and their babies are waiting to greet the guests.
     ---Animals, enjoying the Treetops pool in the daylight.
     ---A long bodied, long ring tailed very active cat-like animal is a special one coming out at night. He
hunts and eats anything he can catch and is very destructive. He lives in the trees at Treetops. He comes
for his food every evening. Do not get too near to him, as his teeth and claws(爪)can do you harm. These animals can be trained and become lovely pets.

  Recreational tree climbing is taking root in the ecotourism industry, and it's sending guys like Tim Kovar to far off reaches of the globe.Kovar, a tree-climbing instructor, recently returned to the U.S.from Brazil, where he spent time developing a tree-climbing operation thanks to the "slow travel" movement.

  Slow travel, is like the slow food movement, the practice of giving fast food in favor of homegrown cooking-the kind that takes hours to prepare and enjoy.Likewise, slow travel urges visitors to experience a place's natural surroundings and learn about the ecology in a way not afforded by extreme games.

  "Tree climbing is a slow activity," says Kovar."It's not something you do quickly and then you're on to the next thing or event." There is no such thing as a quick climb, especially for beginners.This wasn't a race against the clock or the fellow climbers.In fact, tree climbing is unlikely to ever become a feature of the extreme games.Many climbers refuse competition.There has already been so much competition in the world.

  "When you stand below the tree, it can be amazing," Rusel DeMaria says, looking affectionately up at Michael's Triumph, a 150-foot-tall tree.But reaching the treetop, he adds, is an entirely different feeling.Likewise, his wife, Viola Brumbaugh, kneels on the ground and asks Michael's Triumph for permission to climb."It goes a lot smoother that way, "She says.

  And climbing has been included into many educational programs.New Tribe offers guided climbs through its school, Tree Climbing Northwest, where "we teach enough tree biology and forest ecology to raise awareness in our students," says New Tribe present Sophis Sparks."We know that the tree climbing experience deepens personal appreciation for trees.After climbing, people value trees more and are motivated to support preservation.This is not just to preserve their playground."

  Perhaps that is why he struggles with the term "recreational tree climbing," saying, "I prefer to call it inspirational tree climbing."
